I haven't had time to look at this thoroughly but I have a couple comments anyway. Take them with plenty of salt.1. IMO anyone using this feature is likely to want to heavily customize geronimo so their "template" bears little resemblance to what we supply. If they don't do this, we've failed to provide a sufficiently customizable server. So I think its equally important to provide facilities to extract a "minimal" server that will run a set of apps and make it the template.
I agree and suggested on an earlier thread that I would like to see us include both the JEE5 and Minimal config files in the JEE5 server assembly. That way, users can start with the minimal runtime footprint (which was about 50MB earlier this week for Tomcat on Java5) and grow into a JEE5 server if needed. Maybe all we need to do, is create pristine copies of those 2 configs in the normal var/config directory, as config.xml.jee5 and config.xml.minimal.
2. I think the predominant use of uncustomized geronimo will be as a single server so I'm reluctant to, for this use, hide "var" under a couple more directories. It would certainly make my use of geronimo more complicated. I'm worried that to make life a little easier for advanced users we may be making it more complicated for beginners. What do other people think?
Agree, but at the same time, we need to provide guidance to our users on how to correctly and reliably create additional instances without interfering with the default server instance. Supplying a tool/script to do this would be the ideal case, so the correct files would be copied over and the portOffset updated...

What about just geronimo-default, or default-instance, or just default? Or perhaps an instances folder, with geronimo0 inside. I just have an issue with geronimo0 as a root folder.-sachin On May 4, 2007, at 7:50 AM, Anita Kulshreshtha wrote:I have committed changes in rev 535158. The name of the default instance is now 'geronimo0', i.e. its 'var' is at geronimo0/var. This has been tested only on windows. I do not expect any problems with this change.. In case of a problem, creating an empty var/temp should help. Thanks Anita __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
